The US Supreme Court has dismissed President-elect Donald Trump's final attempt to delay his New York hush-money sentencing.
The sentencing is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Friday, and Trump's attendance is mandatory to avoid a bench warrant for his arrest.
A majority of justices provided two main reasons for their decision: issues can be addressed post-sentencing, and the burden on Trump’s responsibilities is minimal.

Trump has stated that the case is a political attack, asserting that every legal expert agrees it should not have been pursued.
